An interesting fact that most people don’t know about you

For the last 14 years, my wife, Breanne, and I have been building a real estate business. We do flips and have rentals. We recently did a 15-unit property in Texas, and are starting a cliffside Airbnb in Nicaragua. I am also the owner of Stealth Gloves! I also love to surf, but kinda suck…

Most difficult thing you’ve ever done

I thought I could break the world record when I was 18. I was 4 feet away. I didn’t break it until I was 32. That was a wild ride.

Most rewarding part of your job

Spending time with the clouds.

If you could give someone one piece of advice, what would it be?

Dr Suess. Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is your than you.
